Question
What should be considered when feeding a jaundice baby?
Answer
Jaundice in a baby may disappear after stopping breastfeeding for 3-5 days; however, it may reappear once breastfeeding is resumed. This condition could be due to breastmilk jaundice, which can be categorized into early-onset and late-onset types. Breastmilk jaundice usually lasts longer, potentially up to 1-2 months, but it can be differentiated from hepatitis through laboratory tests.
